It's been a few days since I went on a group date with Dimitri and I was going over today to go to the park with his friends as well as mine along with their mates. I was currently getting ready to head out since the others had left a few minutes ago and Dimitri was coming to get me in 10 minutes to head out. "What time do you think you'll be home by?" Benji asked as I grabbed my keys and wallet from my desk and I shrugged "No later than 10 I think since we're going to eat dinner then come home after that" I said and he nodded "I'll call if anything changes or happens""Alright and keep your phone on loud in case something happens and we need to get in touch with you" he said and I furrow my brows but nodded before leaving the house when I got a text form Dimitri saying that he was here."Hey" I murmured leaning over and kissing his cheek making him smile before reversing out of the driveway "How was your day?" He asked as he drove to the park "Good. Benji had us train from 5 to 1
The sound of growling and whimpering was all you could hear in the yard as the pack and rogues faught. The scent of blood filled the air as rogue after rogue was killed. I growled as the rogue I was fighting tackled me causing me to skid across the yard, and hit a tree giving him enough time to come at me since I was still disoriented from the tackle but before he could get to me, I saw a flash of black fur jump in front of me as blood dripped down its coat and I knew it was Bennett. I've never seen Bennett fight before so watching this was both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Exciting because I knew he would be able to defend himself if we were ever attacked and terrifying because there was a look in his eyes that yelled murder. He's willing to kill anything and anyone that got in his way and that scared me shitless. Get up you idiot, Bennett has this handled. We need to kill the rest of the red eyes Grayson hissed and I nodded standing up in wobbly legs before shaking my
I walked through the silent house as softly as I could and head to the kitchen to grab a snack. My tummy was growling at me and I didn't want it to eat me so I have to get something to eat. I stopped when the floor creaked looking behind me to see that the lights were still of and strained my ears to hear any movement of my parents or siblings waking up but nothing. All I could hear was the soft breeze outside the window. I reached the kitchen and went to the snack drawer and opens it only to freeze when the light turns on and looked over to see uncle Marc leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and a brow raised"Want are you doing up so late, pup?" He asked tilting his head to the side "Tummy growl I have to gets foods in or tummy eats me" I muttered patting my tummy and looking up at him with wide eyes and a pout making him smile and walk over to where I stood before peeking inside the drawer"Well we don't want the hungry monster to eat my favorite nephew no
I was sitting on the uncomfortable chair beside the bed as I watched Bennett sleep. It's been exactly 5 days since the fight and he's been sleeping ever since and it's worrying me. He looked so fragile that with the slightest of movements he would have cracked. The doctor said that his body had gone into shock and that's probably why he wasn't waking up. I just want him to wake up so we can talk about the fight. His parents and brothers have been visiting every hour to see how he's doing and each time I tell them the same thing ; no reaction."Fuck Benny, please just do something to let me know that you're still here" I murmured holding his warm hand in mine as I watched his chest rise and fall with the intake and exhale of air but I just want something other than that to let me know that he was still alive. I would kill for anything even a small twitch of his fingers or his brow furrowing. There was a nasal tube sending air into his lungs as the IV filled him with fluids and medicin
I woke up to a bright light shining down on my eyes making me scrunch my eyes before opening them slowly. I was laying on the soft grass in the middle of the woods. There were trees standing tall blocking most of the sunlight. In the distance, I could hear the sound of a stream with birds chirping up in the trees and small rodents and insects scurrying about in the forest floors. I slowly sat up and looked around me before following the gentle sound of a guitar being strung followed by two voices singing along to the music.I recognized the song. It was one of my favorite songs when I was little. They used to sing it to me every night before bed and I always wondered why but never asked because I loved that song. It was called let them be little by the lone star I could feel my eyes blur with tears the closer I got to the sound.I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand. Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute. How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink. Faste
I sat in bed watching Bennett as he slept with the occasional whimper and frown. It pained me to see him that way. I can't imagine how it must feel finding out that the people you called mom and dad your entire life were not your real parents. I can't begin to imagine the heart ache that he's going through learning that his parents were the people who lost their lives saving him. I sighed and ran my fingers through his hair as he began to whimper in his sleep that seems to help him relax. It's been three days since he was discharged from the infirmary and two since he moved in with me. Morgan and Lilith have been trying to contact him but he refuses to talk with them. I know if I was in his position I would do the same. His brothers have came over to visit him but Benny just sits there and stares out the window while they talk. I have a feeling that they knew the Bennett wasn't their brother from the way they had reacted when Bennett told them that they weren't actually brothers but
Lucas, Princeton, Isabella and Dimitri are the only people keeping me sane. They've helped me overcome my depression even though there are days where I just want to stay in bed and sleep. I haven't seen nor heard from Lilith and Morgan since I moved out though Dimitri has told me countless times that every time he comes home form his morning runs he finds them outside the pack house. I don't think I could ever forgive them for keeping my birth a secret. I couldn't hate my parents because they wrote about wanting to tell me the truth but they were warned not to utter a word. The fact that Morgan and Lilith would rather help their son who knew how to defend himself rather than a child who hasn't even shifted yet I think was what hurt a lot more than them not telling me that I wasn't their actual son but nephew.I sighed and wiped the tears from my eyes as I re-read the letter for what felt like the hundredth time since I got it. Every word no matter how many times I read them, still hur
"What time did your parents say the ceremony was at?" Bennett asked as he finished getting ready and I looked at the time to see we still had a good hour before the ceremony begins "At 4" I answered as he nodded putting his shoes on "Monica said that she and the guys saw Lilith and Morgan making their way to the house earlier"He tensed before nodding but said nothing in regards of that and I sighed. It's been roughly 5 months already since he found out that he wasn't their son and he was still hurt and I don't blame him but at the same time I want him to put this behind him and talk to Lilith and Morgan."Will you ever talk to them?" I asked gently and he sighed shrugging "I don't know to be honest. There are days where I want to call them and tell them I forgive them but then I remember what they did" he replied while rubbing his hands down his face. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist as I rests my chin on his shoulder"I just think that it would be best to
*10 years later*It's been 10 years now since MoonLit Haven became a pack and over time, it had grown exponentially. We were now considered one of the biggest packs in Canada alongside MoonLit Oasis, Savage and King Packs. I couldn't be happier because I knew how much AJ had wanted to grow the pack and knowing his dream came true was the best thing that could ever happen to him, to us. Watching my mate and husband be the alpha he was born to be was a dream come true. Under AJ's leadership, MoonLit Haven had implemented innovative strategies for both growth and harmony within the pack. He believed in nurturing the physical and emotional well-being of every wolf, thus bringing out the best in them. Each wolf had a purpose, whether it was providing security, hunting, or tending to the young and injured. The pack thrived on a sense of belonging, where every individual knew they were invaluable, contributing to the greater good.One aspect that set MoonLit Haven apart was its emphasis on
"Are you ready to go?" Ajax asked as he walked into our room with Athena beautifully dressed in a pink and blue dress with a white bow. She looked absolutely stunning. Ajax himself wore a white button-up shirt with a pair of jeans that he paired with black shoes. "Yeah," I nodded and smiled at him. We were heading to Beau and Derek's house today since it was little Lucas' birthday. He was turning four. It was crazy because it feels like it was just yesterday that Beau and Derek were telling us they were expecting a baby, and yet, four years have passed since that day. They had invited us to the party when we had gone over last week.And not only that, but it turned out that Ashton had found his second chance mate in a guy named Camden. It was a pleasant surprise for all of us. Ashton had been the only one among the pack that had yet to find his second mate, so it was a joyous occasion for everyone. Along with Camden, Braxton had arrived at the pack house. Braxton turned out to be the
*time skip*A lot has happened in a year. Ashton and I became friends, something I tonight would ever be possible. I gave birth to Athena who was the happiest little girl in the world. She knew how to get you to bend to her will with many a look of her bright blue eyes and little pout. Oh she has everyone wrapped around her little finger, specially her father. AJ would go to the absolute end of the earth to make her happy. I've told him to stop spoiling her too much but that man won't listen, and if he does he chooses to ignore it. But back to my unlikely friendship with my former mate, Ashton. I knew AJ had his reservations about me being friends with the person who had rejected me even before we got to know each other. Ashton has apologized and has explained that the reason why he did what he did and said what he did was because he was scared of what people may think of him for being mated to someone who had Down syndrome like me. Personally, I thought it was the stupidest reason b
I was in my office when I smelt a familiar scent in the air and clenched my jaw. Ashton has been visiting Ajax a lot more frequently since they became friends and as much as I wanted to tell him to not come over, I didn’t want Ajax to be upset with by rejecting his friend. I sighed and rubbed my face as I ignored the scent of the wolf and turned back to the piles of paperwork on my desk. A knock on my door made me look up and call at the person on the other side to enter. “I’m still wondering how yon still haven’t told Ajax to not invite that guy over,” Dillon said as he walked in and sat across from me once he closed the door behind hm, “if Jake had a mate before me and was rejected and then said mate wanted to be friends with him, I’d be pissed and would tell him to not invite him to the pack house.”I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the ache that had formed in my temples. "You forget, Dillon, that our mates are different," I responded, trying to keep my frustration at bay. "Ajax
I've never imagined I'd ever experience an attack of this magnitude after having a baby two weeks ago, and yet that's exactly what happened. Everything had been going perfectly fine. Jake and I were in the playroom area of the pack where the orphaned children of the pack were playing with the adorable pups of the pack members. I held Athena close to my chest, cherishing the warmth of her tiny body against mine, just as Jake did with his own precious baby girl, Artemis. It was a peaceful afternoon filled with laughter and joy.But it all changed in an instant. It was so sudden that it took us a moment to realize what was happening. I watched in horror as our mates, Dillon and AJ, ran into the yard growling and snarling, their fur bristling with adrenaline. They were joined by their friends, a united front against the intruders. Jasmine, our fierce warrior, herded the running women, elderly, and other teens and children into the safety of the pack house, with Anna and Beth helping her. T
It's been two weeks since Ajax gave birth to our baby girl and every day since the day she was being had been an absolute joy. She was beautiful and perfect in every way. The pack has showered both Mother and pup with unconditional love and affection always ready to lend a helping hand. Today was no different as Alice our pack Doctor and Martina—one of the new pack members and child caregivers—came over to see Ajax and little Athena."Hello, Alpha AJ," Alice greeted as she and Martina walked up the gravel path to the front and I smiled."Hello, Alice," I greeted back and looked at her companion, "hello, Martina.""Hello, Alpha AJ," Martina greeted with a smile, "how are Alpha Ajax and little Athena doing today?""They are doing great," I replied, leading them inside, "Ajax has been getting stronger each day, and Athena is growing like a little warrior princess."As we entered the living room, Ajax was sitting on the couch, cradling Athena in his arms. His eyes lit up as he saw Alice a
Finding out that AJ and I were expecting our first child together was an amazing and exciting experience. We had been trying to conceive for quite some time, and the news brought us an immense amount of joy and anticipation. Little did we know, this beautiful journey was just about to begin.AJ, despite me only being five weeks along, took it upon himself to ensure my utmost comfort and safety. He believed that carrying anything heavy might pose a risk to our unborn child, and so he adamantly refused to let me engage in any task that involved lifting or straining. At first, I found his protectiveness endearing, although it did take some time for me to adapt to this new dynamic.Every morning, AJ would bring me a tray filled with a freshly brewed cup of herbal tea and a simple yet nutritious breakfast. He believed that it was important for me to start the day with a nourishing meal that would provide me with the energy I needed. As I enjoyed my breakfast in bed, he would sit next to me
It had been a whirlwind two months since MoonLit Haven became an official pack. In that time, my mate had seamlessly adjusted to his role as the second or alpha, or what others may say as Luna, effortlessly guiding and supporting our pack. Although we were a small group consisting of Ajax and me, along with Dillon and Jake, Jasmine, Axel, Gustin, and Jensen, we were determined to expand our family. Today, as Ajax and Jake went to visit his parents and siblings, we continued our work of building new homes in our vast land.As we labored under the bright sun, Jasmine's pondering question hung in the air, filling it with anticipation. "Do you think we'll get more people to join the pack?" she asked, her eyes filled with hope. I paused for a moment, contemplating her words and allowing my gaze to meet hers. The gleam of optimism in my eyes must have been evident, for I responded with unwavering determination, "Yes, Jasmine. I believe that more wolves will find their place amongst us. Moo
And it's official," Mama said, his eyes twinkling with pride as he looked at AJ and me. "Your pack is officially called Moonlit Haven." A surge of excitement washed over me as I glanced over at my mate, AJ, whose stunned expression mirrored my own disbelief. For months now, we had been discussing the idea of starting our own pack, and now it seemed like a dream come true.I turned my attention to the parchment paper Mama held, my heart pounding. It was adorned with intricate designs and carefully penned words, detailing the information that Moonlit Haven was now recognized as an official pack. The paper also proudly proclaimed our allies as Savage, King, and Moonlit Oasis packs, a testament to the friendships we had cultivated and the alliances we had formed.AJ's hands trembled as he absorbed the significance of the document. He read it over and over, his disbelief slowly giving way to a growing sense of accomplishment. We were the first pack in Canada to be formed by a rogue wolf, d
